In many rural regions of South Jersey, residents face barriers to receiving care such as lack of transportation, affordability of care and availability of providers.
What does making Accessible, Available, and Affordable Care a priority mean?
Inspira is focusing on local care by working to increase the number of primary care, specialist and mental health providers in our service area, including Spanish-speaking providers. Access to resources such as affordable prescription medications, preventive health screenings, clinical navigation programs, telemedicine care options, transportation services and home-based health services can drastically improve the quality of life of South Jersey residents.
Our goal is to expand our community benefits and promote services that can help address barriers to care, from spreading the word about telemedicine appointments and our mobile screening unit to assisting with applications for discounted medications and enrollment in health insurance.
